Chemistry prof presents research on heart attacks
Cleveland State University students will be able to glimpse the world of heart attack and stroke victims tomorrow, when a CSU chemistry professor holds a seminar discussing his research. This Friday, Dr. Michael Kalafatis, professor of chemistry at CSU, will discuss his research on heart attacks, and what can be done to expedite treatment at 3 p.m. in the Science Research Center, room 398. "Basically, when someone is cut, he bleeds," says Kalafatis. "... the wound should clot, if not,he’ll bleed to death. When you clot, you are at risk of suffering a heart attack if the clot doesn’t break down and begins to back up."
A protein in the body naturally regulates the balance of blood clots.
The protein is supposed to circulate through the bloodstream and clot blood
when necessary. Hemophilia, a body’s resistance to clot blood, may be a
result of the absence of this protein. "The body is in a constant ‘fixing’
cycle," says Kalafatis, "but it sometimes ‘fixes’ blood vessels when it
doesn’t need to." Kalafatis’s lecture will also discuss research experiments,
including medication that can clear the unnecessary clots before they do
damage.
Professor Katafatis, a Romanian-born Greek citizen, attained a doctorate
at the University of Paris in 1989. He moved the United States and became
a faculty member at the University of Vermont before he came to CSU.
